Description
Make a creamy, cheesy, and slightly spicy jalapeño popper dip easily using your slow cooker. This recipe is perfect for parties or game day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
- 1 cup pickled jalapeño slices, drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional, for extra heat)
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth.
- Add the milk, shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack cheese, diced green chiles, chopped jalapeños, minced fresh jalapeño (if using), garlic powder, and salt to the bowl. Stir everything together until just combined.
- If using bacon, stir in the crumbled bacon now.
- Transfer the mixture to a small slow cooker insert (2-quart size works well).
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours, or on HIGH for 1 to 1.5 hours. Stir the dip halfway through the cooking time to prevent scorching on the bottom.
- The dip is ready when it is completely melted, hot, and bubbly.
- Serve directly from the slow cooker with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
- For a smoother dip, you can blend the cream cheese, sour cream, and milk in a food processor before mixing in the remaining ingredients.
- If you prefer fresh jalapeños over pickled, use about 3 medium fresh jalapeños, seeded and minced, adjusting to your preferred spice level.
- You can prepare the dip mixture the day before, cover it, and refrigerate. Add it to the slow cooker when ready to cook.
